Which option is NOT a category of forcible entry tools?

• A. Drilling
• B. Cutting
• C. Spreading/Prying
• D. Pushing/Pulling

Answer: (A)

Forcible entry tools are grouped by what they do to get through an obstacle. The common categories are cutting tools (tools that slice through barriers), spreading/prying tools (tools that open or separate components to create an opening), and pushing/pulling tools (devices used to move or lever components away to gain access). Drilling isn’t listed as a primary category because it’s a method using a specific tool rather than a broad type of tool. A drill is a device used to bore through materials, but as a category it doesn’t represent a whole class of forcible entry tools like cutting, spreading/prying, or pushing/pulling do.
